Bleeding Reflection

Let the one in the mirror live your life Disappear to that place you once knew Cut the glass heart out with your knife And see the reflection bleed through Let the sky conduct your brain Take the moon and throw it away Forget about the stars and the rain There are no lights or clouds today Let the earth be your guest now Invite him into your home You arm will grow into a bough And you won’t feel so alone Let the dirt bury your hand gun You don’t need anything lethal anymore Don’t look for any black, there is none ‘Cause it was washed away on the shore Let the dark illusion be known and understood Destroy it’s deception once and for all this time When the water stays in the ocean like it should Then and only then, addiction will give back your mind
